Hi Folks,
Just had an trawl 'round Warpnet and its very pretty 'n all but all
the questions I had remain unanswered. Can anyone out there help?
1. When was Clonk's Coming released?
2. Did anything other than Pulp get released on 'Gift'?
3. Why Sabresonic II? I know that Weatherall was unhappy with
Sabresonic saying that on reflection its boring (I agree). I presume
that Sabresonic II is an attempt to rectify that. Is this the case?
If so has Sabresonic been deleted?
4. How many Jimi Tenor 7"s are there and how many 10"s of 'Outa
Space' will be available?
And a couple of tangentially Warp related questions to finish:
5. NME reckoned that Global Goon had sold more copies than the
'Richard D. James LP'. Can this be the case or is it the usual inkie
bullshit?
6. Anyone got tapes of Aphex or support from the recent tour they
would like to trade for tapes of something else? I have a fairly anal
collection of Aphex/Warp/RePHLeX stuff...
The new Warpnet has its good points, for example the inclusion of
videos and some funny and informative stuff in the file section but
I still think that it is a triumph of style over content.
No release dates, artist credits or track times in the
discography. No way of printing off a discography. No info on the
numbers available of the recent limited editions (this matters 'cos
if its only a few I'll order something, if its over a thousand I'm
confident I'll be able to pick it up in town). Its no use to the
trainspotter. Its too specific and too full of in jokes to be of
casual interest. Who is it for?
Grumpy Rob ;-)
